Clase was their 23rd ranked prospect by Baseball America at midseason last year, which is fairly high for a bullpen arm. However, the Rangers also have a low-ranked farm system.
Disappointing return.
I will say, I was clamoring for a flamethrower in our pen since it seems like every decent team has one now, and we were throwing out a bunch of guys throwing low-90's last year, albeit with solid results.
The future of our bullpen looks pretty darn good right now between Clase, Karinchak, and a slew of guys in Akron and Columbus.
